Cee was also a member of an Afro-pop group dubbed JKO, which performs live acoustic events at the same time poetic and musical presentations, and if you are a lover of African-themed songs, you probably know them.

Sadly, the celebrated artiste passed away on the 17th of January 2017, which has come as a great shock to Kenyan artistes. Cee has worked severally with Sauti Sol's renowned guitarist Polycarp Otieno.

Sauti Sol's Polycarp Otieno was the first to break the news with a very heavy and sorrowful heart. The cause of death has not yet been revealed.

Though there are reports that Cee Nuke could have been poisoned after a drinking spree with his relatives, after which he was rushed to Langata Hospital after they noticed that he didn't wake up the next morning.

Cee was then transferred then to St.Marys Hospital, put on oxygen support but sadly, he was pronounced dead while he was been taken for a scan. Sad!

The down to earth guitarist and artiste also worked with the celebrated group, Elani, who discovered him when he dropped an amazing cover to their hit song, Zuzu, and the disbelief of Cee's death has hit them hard.

Polycarp shared a warm photo of Cee with this heart-breaking caption;

I am really struggling to believe this. Still in shock! Worst news in a very long time. You have left us too soon brother! Too soon! ???? You indeed were a very talented soul oozing so much musicality and a great man too. I was truly honored having you in my studio a couple of times. May The Lord rest your soul in Eternal Peace 

On the other hand, top band Elani shared a music video of Cee covering their song, with this mournful tribute;

Such a wonderful person. We will miss you @ceelnuke. This cover is what brought you and us together. It was and will continue to be a message that we should keep on because somebody appreciates what we do. Thank you for that. God rest your soul in eternal peace. Go start that jam session in Heaven!

Mellow voiced Taurus Musik singer Dela also shared a very touching message after learning about Cee's passing;

In complete and utter shock and disbelief morning. We've lost a good one. So much warmth, so much talent, gone too soon. ???? RIP @ceelnuke.

This comes after Kenya's musical legend Achieng Abura passed away after a short illness in November 2016. May his soul rest in peace.
